What's with pocky and anime/manga fans?
I think that Anime/Manga fan is really a Japan fan sometimes. So they see something with Kana on it and wanna buy it whether it's a Calpico water, a manga, a book about dogs, or a weird cup full of chocolate dipped pretzels. I liked pocky cuz I went to elementary with a lot of Korean kids and they all ate Yan Yan - which is a different brand of Pocky. So in order to fit in, I begged my mom to buy me Yan yan too. But she couldn't find it and bought pocky instead. Then I ate pocky until it was popular to eat Koala cookies. I still like Koala cookies better than Pocky anyways, I dunno if I've said that before.
Yea, that's prolly true but I bet it mostly started with anime, manga, and video games.
Yay for Koala cookies! I like Yan Yan better than pocky too (because you get to dip them), I always had them at school. Didn't know they were Japanese until recently.
